We have gentleman lMhw IN
town who dld not Know that the SattNr
of tho f,r$S and &ssOsfci WAS \ married
man until yesterday, whc0 he, Vhe ra.
ttorl was seen III company With his wife
on the street. Mr.. Edisnr> how VIII that
SNn;lcman Ito to run \ lsotely
To-Mighe trues,iayl tho dtNe,ors ot
tho {, Il, \ l., Railroad will meet Il,
Columbia aud decide two Vrry impoN
tant rc;nt$--tho roint at which to hridSr
BNNSa EiSrr, anu to locate the route
either north OF south Of Little Mountain.
Ot course the location of rithor route
will give some dissatisfaction to the
friends of tho other route. 1t Is impoS-
Sihle 10 please All. But we have select
cd rs our president and directors tho
very best men we havr, and we do think
that these men, who have spared neither
time nor pains to familiarixo themselves
with everything necessary to the success
OF tho road, will come to \ wise decision,
one that will rebound to the good Of tho
vast majority. We have the confidence
In these men. and we do believe that
they, in their final decision, will not bc
biased by any sinister or selfish motives.
The future will decide the folly or wis
dom Of their tinality. Let us reserve
our judgment.
The agricultural interests are now
being vigorously looked after. The
farmers arc busily engaged in sowing
oats again. \ large portion OF the fall
crop is entirely killed by the late freezes.
The great damage to the oats has been
abroad, (Shipped hcrc) known among
farmers as the "littlc white oats"
McS$rS. "rom' Lcitch and Marshall,
men whom we know little about as yet,
have commenced q series Of meetings in
Wightman Chapel, which are to con-
tinue from day to day for some time.
At the opening last night they were
greeted with full congregation. The
singing by Mr.. Marshall was very fine
indeed. The speaker, Mr.. I.citch, while
little peculiar, made some happy hits.
1t has been reported that Mr.. Marshall
was employed by the Wizard Oil Co. a
few years past to do their singing. We
desire to do him the justice to say that
this is incorrect. Mr.. NJ. is Il native of
London, England, but has been living
with his family in Chester, S. c., for the
| last fourteen years. We hope these
gentlemen will do much good among us
The existence of "Ciub 90" as report
ed from here in several newspapers last
week, we think, is entirely without
foundation. That the note found in Mr..
Hawkins yard was written, signed and
addressed. just as described, is entirely
| correct. We do not reflect on any re-
porter. We simply say that there does
not exist in Ncwbcrry County any such
organization rs "Club 90" The facts
are these: a designing individual, "a
what many did not want Aaron Rook OF
any other Rook to work for Mr.. Haw-
| kins, and he decided on this method tc
frightcn Rook away. This is the size oi
:Club 90" His name may be made
pub ic ut the proper time. We are not
authorized to do so now. More anon.
